Coloring PCR brings further challenges.
A challenge faced when coloring PCR resins include recyclate materials with an undertone or opacity that can restrict color options in PET, rPET and rPP.
A NEW PCR COLORATION TOOL Avient has developed a digital tool to help assess the impact of colored, recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials.
